Me.,Alfonso Shea, formerly of Seaforth,
writes from Si lacy, New South Wales, on
May 10elt, to a friend in Canada, a very
interesting lett r, and we 4ave- been' given
permission to lublish ia. Re says : " After
receiving, you at fiteer, I decided to take
a trip to Austr lia on a sailing ship. In
order to do so, I proceed north' to Eureka,
California, and secured_passege en the Brit-
ish merchantm n, the Cateligan Castle."
We reached Si *ay safely, after a' '59 day

about 600,feet vide and 40 feet deep extends
30 miles inland and is sheltered from winds
by lofty banka. The people are decidedly
mere British in reamers and ideas than we
are. they have a bill before the Imperial
Perhaneent at I resent for a federation of the
Auseralian ' eol nies with the exception of
West Aueeralia'which is eating much as
Newfoundland lid with us. The represen-
tation of differ nt colonies in Federal Par-
liament, the le iet'on of the federal ;capital
and the fined- a p al to the Privy Council
are all open qu st one here at present,.
But another, a d wider scheme, hs • ust
,dawned on the stralian miad that fo ces
all other ques io e into the backgro nd,
and that is the id a of a commermel and
political federa ion of Great Britain i}nd her
colonies, with Lee 'trade with eiteli o 'her
and a protectiv tariff against the I w rld.
This scheme ar se from certain recent u ter -
emcee of Lord S Rebury and Mr. Cham er-
lain with whic Iisuppoxe you are alr aely
familiar. The theme is fed and gre tly
ennouraged by he British •born. popul tion
here, and espee allyeby the most rec nt, .ar-
rivals from Br' tain. The moreanti e ap-
tains and seal rtng people general y can
talk of nothing elec. They assure _th us-
tralians that th lteeent assistance gi en by
' all' the colonies tol Great Britain in h r i our
of need' has bro ht home to the r.tish
' public the nece st y of fostering close •om-
mercial relatio s iwi eh the colonies. An
'eminent Britis naval offieer here same up
the situation thus : " Free tradta has
answered its p rpose. We have fast red
the British worllagman at the expellee o the
celonials too lo g. The colonies hae ow
proved their lo alty in the time of ettr mi-
ty ; they have meg been ourprincipal ar-
ket, and it is ti le we recompensed them by
giving them a decided alvantage in our
markets over e eriy and all competit rs."
This is the bur i g theme of converse ion
here everywher, on the exchange, in the
business offices, a d on the streets, and the
general query h hat can we do to 'fur her
the scheme ? 1 n tieedivith great plea ure
in your last let e , that you spoke of the
feeling of loyal to Great Britain- as b lng '
very general in nada. This is as it eh uld
be. I believe i i to the advantage of 0n.
edians to foster is spirit in every poeeible
way. If believ rther, it is, our dicAyi to
,sink all parity I litics aid political, differ-
ences and give nited eind hearty ouparort
to the present •oticy of layalty to the em-
pire. This is o ii of the Peet possible ways
to foster our tr d and extend our 'commerce
in such a way a vi11 piece Canada in ter

world. Com c chid development is the
only way by wl i h we can reach t is end

exports goods nnually to her colonies to
the extent of a Out $100,000,000. On the
bulk of these goods the British manufac-
turer has to pe a, heavy duty.to place it in
the colonial ma Irate. He, therefore, stands
to gain to the xterit of this duty. Hear-

hig gone exteis vely into the subject, he
was prepared t. tate that the empire was

the colonies, e j capable of supplying

amongst their counterparts in Canada -and

age to us would be that such a plan, if
carried out, would naturally' necessitate
direct texation to a great extent. We
know that direct taxation work e satisfac-

then, would it not produce the ea e results

; —In cons,equence of a big purchase of
ifibre, made recently in New York, at a
, greatly reduced price, by the warden of the
1Kingeton penitentlary, and as the reports
regarding the coming harvest in the • North-
west are not too reassuring, the DOTRilliOn
Government has determined to give the
farmers of Canada every -chance to buy their
binder twine this year at the prices which
prevailed prior to the erouble in the Philip-
pines. ,The price of Manilla twine in small
lots to the farmer has been placed at 9 cents
per pound. By a number of farmers club-
bing together and buying a ton lot they ean
get their twine for 8t cents, and as Oe
Northwest farmers are larger buyers than
their eastern brethren, a further etand is
offered them. They can get car load lots at
8,a cents per pound, and with an average
freight rate of 75 cents per hundred pounds
from Kiugston, on ear load lots, the west-
ern farmer is put in an equal position for
twill° with his eastern competitor.
